What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Abolish Super PACs Act," aims to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. It seeks to place reasonable limits on contributions to political action committees that make independent expenditures. The legislation finds that current unregulated contributions have led to an explosion in the influence and wealth of super PACs. By limiting these contributions, the bill intends to reduce the risk of actual corruption and the appearance of corruption in elections. Additionally, the act aims to lessen the risk of foreign interference in United States elections. Finally, the bill intends to restore public faith in the election system.
